WOMAN GOSSIP.


Resumes to-day; and writes and
About true love and true-love knots.
The antique loneliness of Paganism is
bot yet dead, for during the past week
we celebrated the day sacred to the goddess
whose subtle sway, immortal as her beauty,
viii cease only with the humiliation of the
human race.
The day is known to us as st. Valen-
tines, the sweetheart saints dav. Why he
ever was selected to that honor we have
failed to learn. To be sure, he has some
reputation, as his cognomen indicates, for
being gallant; but he was chiefly remem-
bered as kindly dispositioned, for his
charity and good deeds. Excepting for his
name, he has almost retired from the
scenes and customs peculiar to the day.
1t is rather the light winged love- god;
the mischievous son of Venus, Cupid, who
Yields the scepter and issues the pro-
gramme of joys for the day. 1t is his
image we find stamped upon the missives
fraught with heart agitating perfume.
1t Is day old as the age which taught
that birds sought their mates upon the 14th
of February.
1t is the day of bushes, when maidenly
cheeks wear the glow that Venus loves.
1t is the day when young blood sparkles
with warmer, brighter hopes. The day
when young hearts beat faster, in fond an
ticipation of the results of certain love
messages.
1t is the day of days to dream of ideal
homes, as in the fantastic light of dying
fires We strive to read our future fate.
1t is said Jove was wont to laugh at low
ers' perluries; but then Jove is dead, and
the fairest of the Olympian immortals is
alone truly immortal.
May that fair goddess of love grant that
all honest hopes born of the day be realized
and all evil wiles be frustrated. 1t Chicago

wire and received shock which
knocked him from the pole to an ad-

the fall, but found that the wire had

Lone Women.

A woman living alone, uncared for,
without human sympathy or help. is not
pleasant picture to look upon. 1t is I'M
natural.
Every woman has cravings demanding
satisfaction in human society. You may
set it down in your minds note book she
has received series of hard knocks be-
fore she secludes herself, denying herself
this sustenance.
A solitary life is invariably forced upon
her, either through her feelings of neces-
sity or sensitiveness. 1t is the result of
suffering; she is victim of tenderhearted-
ness, never a creature of self sufficiency.
How much more is she victim of soli-
tude than a man so situated? A man of
means but no home ties has his club,
CHEEKY places in which to punch billiard
balls; he can go sit in some woman's pretty
parlor; In fact, he has a score of mediums
BY - hich to pass his hours of leisure.
: soman has no club. Such places are
Nc considered conducive to morality. A
NO Ian's place is at home. She is a con-
sEtcuous object at the theater when alone,
or IN the more quiet concert-room. She
cannot invite q gentleman to accompany
her. She cannot have this recreation I'M
less assisted TO it by friends. When she
does not possess them the pleasure is unat-
tainable.
II we stop to consider for moment we
each know of such q woman. Perhaps she
is a seamstress, out in families all day, at
home in her cheerless room only for Il few
hours Mt night. We never have called to
see her-she never asked us to do so.
Perhaps she is an old, wrinkled- faced
woman, who was reticent but kindly and
when we hear she has been found asleep
forever, with no one TO close her eyes ten
derby, We wonder We never cultivated n
little friendliness with her.
Poverty, with its lack of resources, adds
much to the sadness OF solitude, but meat
and drink for the body is not all. The
soul must also have food.
Cheerful words cost nothing but an eff
fort, and are most often priceless to the
receiver.

a Hint for Faint Hearts.

Many girl among these, however, is
sadly misinterpreted. The realism of
James and Howells, the cynical sarcasm of
Thackeray, and the modern tone of world
illness which prevails, all work upon the
mind feminine as upon its masculine rival,
and leave it little chance for any generous
or unselfsh sensations, says chatty
writer. But now and then the old love of
romance and sentiment beats in some ten
der young bosom, beneath the Partisan
plaits and frills that conceal its heavings
from q rude world, and the Maiden Bos-

throughout the New York AMI New

just made that the barley sprouts, which
are extensively used as a milk-stimulat-

adulterated with foreign and unwhole-
some substances, principally with the
fine cinders and ashes of hard coal. The
sprouts are the shoots pushed out by
barley in the process of manufacturing
malt, and when separated and kiln
dried, they resemble wheat bran in ap-

The Root of Sanity,

When Mrs. Emmons exclaimed, for the
benefit Of the public ear, II am lunatic !"
she took the most sensible of ways to
convince the public that she was not one.
1t is people who are constantly giving
out, either verbally or by Inference
that they are not lunatics, whose sanity
is open to question. The best way to
prove insanity is to try to disprove it.
What is a sane man, after all? St. Paul
Calico, Columbus, Fulton and long
line of others passed for lunatics in their
day. THE history of the worlds luna

say, "is the essential history of all it has

WHAT THE CRoCUS SAID.
NORA PERRY.

Month after month, and day by day,
Beneath sweet mother earth lay
And slept and woke, and slept again,
Lulled blythe whispering winds and ram.
At times. within my shrouded bed,
I felt the restless, hurrying tread
Of human steps, and caught tne oea1
OF human hearts above the feet.
! kept so still within my place,
That though I did not see face,
7 heard each breath that passed my way,
And knew what every heart did say.
knew their hopes, l knew their fears,
I heard their laughter and their tears,
But over all heard plant,
Now lifted high, now falling faint;
A ,n]aint of doubt, and doubling dread,
A questioning, hungry cry that spread
From heart to heart, until heard,
Sometimes no other sound or word.
And all the while the rootlets grew
About my bed-from old and new,
I felt the quickening pulse and breath,
The throes of life that conquered death.
/ knew that Wnen tne uoutns eanio AoAA
NY leaves would break the sheltering ground,
Would leap like light from out the earth
In all the glory of new birth.
I knew that thus from life to death,
From death to life, this living breath
Of bud and bloom, of leaf and flower,
Eternal sprang from hourto hour.
Yet while thus sentient in my shroud,
Above me, moving in cloud,
These restless hearts cried in the bright
And high MONDAY GOD, give us light"

THOUGHTS OF MAY,

/ cannot hear the winds voice sigh,
But through it all hear her signing;
| cannot watch the sunshine lie
On dew'd green fields, but her smiles wing
In my young heart. cannot feel
The south winds kiss, but still all through
me
Runs that sweet thrill used to feel
Whenever she came nearest to me-
cannot smell the sweetest rose
June brings as gentle summers sutton,
But all around her being CLOVIS,
And perfume sheds than rose-breath
sweeter!

costumes for the benefit and qualification OF
his lady readers. We copy several OF his
gratifying descriptions:
Miss Sally McSniffin was rugged out as
pretty as red and green wagon with two
spring seats, and more mashes than lew.
She had on blue dress with red flap at the
side, and puffy something or other on the
other side.
Miss Sue Sharp wore an en- train rig ana
could have knocked Mrs. Langtry silly when
it came to good looks. Her hair was e" c"rs
and her face en- ponder. She had sixteen
rings on one finger, and bracelets clean to
her elbow.
Little Birdie Bloom was ''the daintiest OAR
ling of all, in white toggery OF some sort;
Topped up in spots. She wore nd-palnIeu
gloves and slippers, and passymentry Jew
elry; also the curls that have been on exhl-
bition in the window of our tashlonaole
hair dresser for the past week.
